496. The hanging beam committed suicide

Yu Dai saw that the princess had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.

"There are many such concubines from the palace, all of whom were sent by others."

Liu Qiqi thinks about it, how many people give women to their superiors for glory and wealth.

"It's a poor person."

"Slaves and maids don't feel pity, they are in the palace, and some people will not have good luck in their lifetime." Chunbi said.

Liu Qiqi said, "What you said seems to have a point. ”

"How many people outside are underfed, starving to death, there are not a few, can be sent to the palace, there should be some people who are not favored at home, this place, at least there can be a quiet place!" Chunbi said again.

Liu Qiqi's footsteps stopped slightly, "You know a lot. ”

"The slave and maid also listen to Mi Li."

"Mi Li is about to leave the palace, right?"

"A few days ago, her lover also gave her a lot of small snacks, and showed off to the slaves."

Liu Qiqi smiled, "You can too." ”

Chunbi was not happy, Liu Qiqi hurriedly changed her words, "I know your thoughts, I just said it, I don't mean anything else." ”

A few people said and walked towards the East Palace, seeing that they were about to arrive at the East Palace, a few people didn't pay attention, and a reckless little palace maid rushed out and hit the ground.

Fortunately, Yu Dai's eyes were quick and she was in front of Liu Qiqi, if not, she would have collided with Liu Qiqi.

When the little palace maid saw that she had hit someone, she hugged the small porcelain jar tightly and apologized in a panic, "The slave should die, the slave should die!" ”

"You really deserve to die, offending the crown princess is a capital crime!" Yu Dai scolded sharply.

When the little palace maid heard the crown princess, she looked up, her face changed abruptly, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly.

Liu Qiqi saw that this little palace maid was very precious to that jar.

It looks like a wine jar, and the collision just now didn't spill a drop, obviously this jar has a lot of articles.

"Slave and maid prince, slave and maid should die, beg the princess to spare her life!"

"Which palace are you from?" Liu Qiqi asked.

"The slave and maid are on an errand in the Xinzheku." The little palace maid said.

Liu Qiqi glanced at Yu Dai, "That's it, the little palace maid didn't mean it, so forget it!" ”

"Yes." Yu Dai responded.

Liu Qiqi glanced at Yu Dai and left quickly.

Chunbi, Qingdai, and Zhou Yan left with the crown princess.

Yu Dai waited for the princess to go away, and reprimanded the ignorant little palace maid, "You have a good life today, when you meet the princess, if it were another master, your little life would have been gone!" ”

"The slave and maid are guilty, and the slave and maid thank the princess for not killing her." The little palace maid kowtowed vigorously to admit her mistakes, but she was extremely careful to protect the jar in her arms.

"Alright, let's go!" Yu Dai spoke, and the little palace maid got up and trotted away.

Yu Dai saw the direction in which the little palace maid left, someone chased after her, and she walked quickly towards the crown princess.

Return to the East Palace.

When Liu Qiqi came back, she found a white thing on her hand.

She looked at her hands, they hadn't touched anything, what was going on?

"Crown Princess, your hand?" Chunbi said.

Liu Qiqi twisted her fingers twice, and the thing felt like an animal's molt.

"Qing Dai, take a look at this?"

Qing Dai stepped forward and took a closer look, "This should be snake skin, but how is it white." ”

"If it's really molting, it could be a white snake."

"White snake?"

"The white snake is a white mutant of the mouse snake, which is not the same as the albino mouse snake. In the absence of melanin, the skin pattern arrangement is different from that of common snakes of the same species or simple albino individuals. ”

Liu Qiqi thinks that the white snake is non-venomous, docile, strong and powerful, and the adult body is as thick as an arm, and the body length can reach more than 2 meters.

The white snake likes to eat frogs, indirectly also eats poultry and rodents, and sometimes snakes.

How did this snake appear in the palace?

The molting of the white snake shows that the white snake has been here for a long time, thinking that she has just climbed the tree, is the white snake moving around there?

Thinking in his heart, he told Yu Dai to go to the big tree she had just been to take a look.

Yu Dai quickly left.

After about a stick of incense, Yu Dai came back and told the news she had just gotten.

"Crown princess, there are palace maids who have seen white things crawling in the courtyard where the concubines live, it should be the white snake that the princess said."

"Maybe that concubine has a special love!" Liu Qiqi thought that since it was not poisonous, it should be a pet that was idle and boring.

Several people didn't take it seriously.

......

Evening.

Chunbi came back from outside with red eyes.

Liu Qiqi saw her choking and immediately felt funny.

"Why are you crying?"

Chunbi wiped a handful of tears and said, "Crown Princess, the rice dumplings are dead!" ”

The notebook in Liu Qiqi's hand fell to the ground, "What did you say?" ”

"The slave maid went to the imperial dining room, and listened to the people in the imperial dining room discussing, saying that the rice dumplings were reprimanded by the grandmother of the imperial dining room, and they couldn't think of it, so they committed suicide by hanging a beam in the house." Chunbi choked up and said, "Princess, Mi Dumpling is not someone who can't think of it, her death must be strange." ”

"Nobody cares about this?" Liu Qiqi asked.

"Mi Dumpling is just a little palace maid, no one takes her death seriously, and directly throws her body out of the palace." When Chunbi said this, her tears never stopped.

Liu Qiqi felt that there was something strange about the death of rice dumplings, and thought that what Chunbi said was also right, there are so many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, they have no background, they die when they die, and no one takes it seriously.

Chunbi slammed and knelt on the ground, "Princess, the slave begs you to do justice for the rice dumplings." ”

"Nonsense!" Yu Dai was angry and scolded Chunbi.

Chunbi also realized that she had said the wrong thing and stopped saying anything.

Liu Qiqi continued to look at the script in her hand, and the script could no longer attract her attention.

Simply put down the script and start watering the flowers.

Simple movements, repeated many times, like a machine, gave Liu Qiqi's brain a better buffer.

She thought a lot about it.

Mi Dumpling's death is suspicious, but this matter has nothing to do with Donggong, and he can't get involved in it because of Chunbi's words.

Now the prince has too many tricky things, and she has to stick to the prince's side first.

Soon she focused her attention on the fact that the emperor was poisoned again.

I don't know if Madman Yao is really powerful, he can see the truth.

Thinking of something that even the imperial doctor is not sure of, it is obvious that someone is doing things very secretly.

Thinking, thinking, Liu Qiqi's heart is more complicated.

There are not many people in the palace, and there is no suspense in the battle for the throne, what is going on in the palace?

I thought of the concubine named Han Xin I met today.

At first, I was really attracted by her simplicity, and when she repeatedly said 'Crown Princess', Liu Qiqi thought that there were a few simple people in the palace.

Thinking about it, there are a lot of things in my head about these women in the harem doing to compete for favor.

Just thinking about it, a system voice came, [Yao Maniac has found out. 】

Liu Qiqi took the hand of the water scoop and paused, [Who is it? 】

system, [a concubine. 】

Liu Qiqi thought of the concubines she met today, [Han Xin? 】

system, [not Han Xin, it's a concubine named Ma Yan. 】

Liu Qiqi couldn't figure it out, [How can a concubine poison the emperor? 】

system, [Ma Yan has some skills, when she went to the kitchen to get a meal, she took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, secretly approached the materials for the emperor's meal, and then poisoned it, and more importantly, this poison was not poisonous, and it was blindly restrained from the medicine that the emperor ate. 】

Liu Qiqi, [Can a concubine still have this ability? 】

system, [It's a pity, when the prince rushed over, Ma Yan died. 】

Liu Qiqi carefully scrutinized these important information and asked, [Is the death of rice dumplings related to this? 】

system, [Who is the rice dumpling?] 】

Liu Qiqi, [a rough envoy palace maid in the imperial dining room. After speaking, Liu Qiqi felt that it should be the rice dumplings that discovered something, so they were killed.

system, [I don't know. 】

Liu Qiqi always felt that there was a connection, but she couldn't say anything specifically.
